Vic Singh had always dreamed of owning a business that would thrive and become a cornerstone of his community. Two years ago he took a leap of faith and purchased a Holiday Marathon gas station and convenience store, at 560 N. State Road 135.
For Singh, it’s about creating a welcoming space where neighbors can connect, and where quality and community are paramount.
The Marathon store gleams with cleanliness and safety, a testament to Singh’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Beyond the usual convenience-store fare, Singh has curated a selection of products that cater to local tastes and desires. One standout is the array of European chocolates, particularly the beloved Milka bars.
To further enhance the community experience, Marathon Holiday offers a gourmet coffee bar and bakery section. In the coming months a kitchen will be added. Freshly made food items made with quality ingredients will be available throughout the day. While some customers will pick up a meal to take home, Singh welcomes you stay and visit a while.
“Center Grove is unique,” says Singh. “While the area and population continue to grow, it still retains its sense of community. That’s what drew me to Center Grove; it aligns with my philosophy, and I want to help foster that spirit.”
To that end, he is actively seeking Center Grove school organizations and sports teams to sponsor. Whether it is providing funds for band and choir performances, athletic equipment, academic organization needs, or even snacks for after-game celebrations, Singh is all in on making sure his support benefits the community.
Critical to Singh’s vision of community activity and support is his team of employees. He handpicked each member for their friendly demeanor and dedication to customer service. They know regulars by name and greet everyone with a genuine smile. It isn’t just about transactions; it’s about building relationships and making sure each customer knows they are valued.
Many plans are in development for enhancements to the Marathon Holiday experience. For instance, a rewards program will be launched that will benefit customers by way of exclusive offers and everyday savings.
Singh invites you to come in and meet him at Marathon Holiday gas station and convenience store. It’s more than just a place to fill up on gas or grab a snack; it’s a community gathering spot – a place where neighbors meet, friendships blossom and local organizations find support.
